Why do this when there is a perfectly working fuel price formula. The previous government manipulated it in my opinion but take the manipulation off and use it. Change doesn’t mean change everything🤦‍♂️.

Looks like the IMF delegation managed to twist Anura Kumara Dissanayake 's arm to agreeing to a deal Ranil Wickremesinghe clinched with bond holders just two days before his defeat. ISB haircut 27%, interest haircut 11% . Earlier, AKD had wanted better terms for the country.

People aren’t interested 🤔 Results will say the story behind this drop. If NPP dominates it big, the opposition voters have given up or if this becomes a close run, the NPP voters are disappointed. Or it could be the long weekend that people decided to rather travel than vote 😆

From one side you can’t open the market like flood gates so we should understand the logic with the hope these restrictive taxes change in 8-10 months. If not,middle class will never be able to afford vehicles. Promise was a Vitz for 1.2 Mn and I hope people didn’t fall for it 😁
